Mark Odom Studio to Restore Midcentury Office on North Lamar

James Rambin October 26, 2017 Comment

The office building at 2001 North Lamar Boulevard might not keep your attention for long. After all, it's essentially a beige box, built with the same tan bricks it appears every architect in Austin was contractually obligated to use in their institutional and commercial projects from about 1960 to 1980.

But there's a compelling sort of midcentury modern weirdness about the building that elevates it slightly in my view, with details like a wall of windows on the southeastern side and its kooky cantilever over the parking lot making it look an awful lot like the . . .
